This will be our annual Christmas Party.  We are having a pitch in brunch.  There will be a gift exchange for those who wish to participate.  The gift should be a handmade item.  We will be deciding on the theme for next year's challenge doll, so members are encouraged to bring ideas for the challenge.  Officers for next year will be nominated and then voted for at the January 2025 meeting.
